Product Description

Mis--cheese--ious Dreamship Adventures! is a story-based adventure game that finds the familiar characters of Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion being ambushed by "pirats". They lose control of the Dreamship, which lands at the top of Mt Cheesemore. It's a race against time to get back to the ship before the pirats get to it.

A Professor rescues Reader Rabbit and Sam, but the hovercraft they are travelling ashore in is wrecked by the pirats. Reader Rabbit and Sam agree to help the Professor to fix it before they go to find the Dreamship. The vital things needed to fix the hovercraft are bread, blue-cheese bricks and macaroni fruit! Children can help Reader Rabbit and Sam collect these things by undertaking seven different fun activities.

The activities help to develop children's language, maths and science skills. A lot of them help to support work that they are doing at school as part of the National Curriculum. There are activities to develop spelling and their understanding of phonics. Children can help to build a dam by moving cheese blocks to complete addition and subtraction sums. They can travel through the Cheese Mine and consolidate their understanding of odd and even numbers. They will love trying to get through the doors in the Pirat Maze by decoding the messages on the doors and carrying out the tasks. The Insect Builder allows children to read descriptions and use this information to select the correct part and build up a picture of an insect, although, some of the vocabulary is a little complex and some children might need a little help selecting the correct part.

This is another good adventure story in the Reader Rabbit series which would be a very good buy for parents of children aged between six and seven. --Amanda York
